Jimmy Butler has changed his hairstyle yet again

Although Steph Curry’s bald look was edited, Jimmy Butler’s ’emo’ look definitely wasn’t. He attended the 2023 NBA Media Day wearing a silky wig while also rocking a piercing on his eyebrows. To complement the look, the Heat star also painted his nails black.

Days after breaking the internet with this look, Butler has gone back to his old reliable hairstyle. The 2023 Eastern Conference Finals MVP now rocks his usual look with the dreadlocks and fades. This wasn’t the first time he fooled the NBA fans with his look. In a similar fashion to his antics a few days ago, Butler turned up with long dreadlocks during the 2022 Media Day.
